Top CBB Coach Responds To Indiana Job Rumors

The Hoosiers fired Archie Miller, one of the top coaching prospects in the sport just a few years ago, at the end of the team’s season. Miller finished his tenure at Dayton with four straight NCAA Tournament trip including a surprise Elite Eight run in 2014, winning over 68-percent of his games. At Indiana, he was 67-58 in four years, failing to reach the NCAA Tournament, and in 2020-21, the Hoosiers went 12-15 (7-12).Brad Stevens, a native son of the Hoosier state who has been connected to potential IU openings since he was at Butler, recently shot down speculation that he’d leave the NBA to return to college ball. He has been head coach of the Boston Celtics since 2013.Now, it looks like IU has been publicly turned down by another hot name in the coaching world: Alabama‘s Nate Oats. The former Buffalo coach has the Crimson Tide rolling in just his second year. The team is currently a No. 2 seed in the NCAA Tournament after winning the SEC regular season and tournament.
